Well I am coming up on my 5 year milestone since my first major episode and diagnosis of BP1. It happened at work and a few months after the event I returned to work and wondered how it would be 5 years later. Still bothered by the event and I have been moved to a position of less responsibility(like ability to cause major problems is less) after my second episode which wasn't at work but landed me in the hospital again. I am of course worried about my job in this economy.
Anyway, I am still working, thats positive.
